Hi Liz, I'm sorry but I don't understand your point. I am aware that the founding fathers were in favour of taxes. As I said to Bruno, I admire the constitution but I think that even more freedom can be achieved. I just meant that paying taxes to kings on the other side of the world is ridiculous, and that the king or queen themselves are ridiculous entities in the modern world.
